El Manglar Golf Course Riviera Maya

Located between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, the El Manglar Golf Course Riviera Maya is a par 3 Jack Nicklaus masterpiece. The contrast that exists with the colors of this course gives it a natural Caribbean beauty - its bunkers with radiating white sand, the lakes surrounded by natural stones, area part of the game, and the type of green used on this course’s greens blend your target with the outlying weeds, making it a challenge to make par.

An 18 hole par 54, that is 2,923 yards long, combines pearly white sand traps, natural stone around its two lakes, an intense color in its greens and waste areas, this golf course is truly a delight for golf enthusiasts on the Mayan Riviera. As part of the extraordinary natural panorama, the lakes and natural vegetation of the Mayan jungle surround all 18 holes as obstacles to overcome.

Hole 7 is a great challenge. The tee box faces the sea and the green is surrounded by three sand traps. The winds in this region are always to a player’s disadvantage.

 

Hole 17, Christened “Donna-Green”, is surrounded by a lake, two sand traps on each side and one more in the center of the green. This makes it the only of its kind and turns the desired par into an even greater challenge.
